"I will not rest until I receive transparency regarding the events surrounding the loss of my soulmate Ido," she said.Martin Gobel, a pilot himself and the youngest son of Christiaan Gobel, said that aviation was more than a career for his father and "was very much a passion".He said that four years after the incident, he was disappointed with the "drawn out" search for answers, which had had a detrimental effect on his life and career.
